Service Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDCDEE| I have no wealth of gold to give away | A |
| But I can pledge to worthy causes these | B |
| I'll give my strength my days and hours of ease | B |
| My finest thought and courage when I may | A |
| And take some deed accomplished for my pay | A |
| I cannot offer much in silver fees | B |
| But I can serve when richer persons play | A |
| And with my presence fill some vacancies | B |
| There are some things beyond the gift of gold | C |
| A richer treasure's needed now and then | D |
| Some joys life needs which are not bought and sold | C |
| The high occasion often calls for men | D |
| Some for release from service give their pelf | E |
| But he gives most who freely gives himself | E |
